Hi Mugunthan,
Thanks for the details regarding the isetup in R12.1.2 , currently we are in R12.1.2 and planning to use this for our functional setup migrations.
How difficult to setup this module to use ? What are the products it is supporting in Oracle EBS ? We are doing the implementation in all the manufaturing modules.
can you please provide the basic details to start with ?
I have gone through the article given by you "List of Manual Setup required for iSetup to work" , Is it still required in r12.1.2 ?
Please advice.
Thanks and Regards,
kannan

Suggested patches on top on OMS 12.1.0.3

Hi,
I colleague of mine suggested applying the following 3 patches on top of 12.1.0.3
-Oracle JAVA SE home - see http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/javacpujun2013-1899847.html
-Base Platform Fusion Middleware home PSU 12.1.1.0.6 Patch 17071664
-Oracle Database Management Plug-in home Unix: BP Patch 17366505
I am hoping to get some comments from the experts as to whether or not these are really required.
Thanks
Steve.

Hi Steve,
The note suggests recommended patches for different versions of OEM. PSU 4 on top of 12.1.0.2 is the latest PSU as of now.
As per my knowledge there no PSU released for 12.1.0.3. The note will be updated when PSU for 12.1.0.3 OMS will be released.
However, you can review the Bundle Patch information in below notes once which should meet your requirement,
Enterprise Manager 12.1.0.3 Bundle Patch Master Note (Doc ID 1572022.1)
Enterprise Manager Base Platform Management Agent 12cR3 Bundle Patch Bug List (Doc ID 1580355.1)
I hope this helps.

Applying Adobe Reader 8.1.2 Security Patch on top of Adobe Pro 7.x

Hi,
Our firm has a number of users running Adobe Standard and Professional 7.x. These users also have Adobe Reader 8 installed simultaneously as well.
According to the Adobe security bulletin below, the security patch for Adobe Standard and Professional 7.x will not be released until May 2008:
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa08-01.html
Question: if we deployed Adobe Reader 8.1.2 (which addresses the same security vulnerabilities mentioned in the above link) on top of Adobe Standard and Professional 7.x, will the vulnerability be fixed? The businesses will not be upgrading to Adobe Standard / Professional 8.1.2.
Thank you,
Roland Thomas

Not to make excuses or anything but, it's more than a security patch.

List of Manual Setup required for iSetup to work

Hi All,
This is Mugunthan from iSetup development. Based on my interaction with customers and Oracle functional experts, I had documented list of manual setups that are required for smooth loading of selection sets. I am sharing the same. Please let me know if I anyone had to enter some manual setup while using iSetup.
Understanding iSetup
iSetup is a tool to migrate and report on your configuration data. Various engineering teams from Oracle develop the APIs/Programs, which migrates the data across EBS instances. Hence all your data is validated for all business cases and data consistency is guarantied. It requires good amount of setup functional knowledge and bit of technical knowledge to use this tool.
Prerequisite setup for Instance Mapping to work
·     ATG patch set level should be same across all EBS instances.
·     Copy DBC files of each other EBS instances participating in migration under $FND_SECURE directory (refer note below for details).
·     Edit sqlnet.ora to allow connection between DB instacnes(tcp.invited_nodes=(<source>,<central>))
·     Make sure that same user name with iSetup responsibility exists in all EBS instances participating in migration.
Note:- iSetup tool is capable of connecting to multiple EBS instances. To do so, it uses dbc file information available under $FND_SECURE directory. Let us consider three instances A, B & C, where A is central instance, B is source instance and C is target instances. After copying the dbc file on all nodes, $FND_SECURE directory would look like this on each machine.
A => A.dbc, B.dbc, C.dbc
B => A.dbc, B.dbc
C => A.dbc, C.dbc
Prerequisite for registering Interface and creating Custom Selection Set
iSetup super role is mandatory to register and create custom selection set. It is not sufficient if you register API on central/source instance alone. You must register the API on all instances participating in migration/reporting.
Understanding how to access/share extracts across instances
Sharing iSetup artifacts
·     Only the exact same user can access extracts, transforms, or reports across different instances.
·     The “Download” capability offers a way to share extracts, transforms, and loads.
Implications for Extract/Load Management
·     Option 1: Same owner across all instances
·     Option 2: Same owner in Dev, Test, UAT, etc – but not Production
o     Extract/Load operations in non-Production instances
o     Once thoroughly tested and ready to load into Production, download to desktop and upload into Production
·     Option 3: Download and upload into each instance
Security Considerations
·     iSetup does not use SSH to connect between instances. It uses Concurrent Manager framework to lunch concurrent programs on source and target instances.
·     iSetup does not write password to any files or tables.
·     It uses JDBC connectivity obtained through standard AOL security layer
Common Incorrect Setups
·     Failure to complete/verify all of the steps in “Mapping instances”
·     DBC file should be copied again if EBS instance has been refreshed or autoconfig is run.
·     Custom interfaces should be registered in all EBS instances. Registering it on Central/Source is not sufficient.
·     Standard Concurrent Manager should up for picking up iSetup concurrent requests.
·     iSetup financial and SCM modules are supported from 12.0.4 onwards.
·     iSetup is not certified on RAC. However, you may still work with iSetup if you could copy the DBC file on all nodes with the same name as it had been registered through Instance Mapping screen.
Installed Languages
iSetup has limitations where it cannot Load or Report if the number and type of installed languages and DB Charset are different between Central, Source and Target instances. If your case is so, there is a workaround. Download the extract zip file to desktop and unzip it. Edit AZ_Prevalidator_1.xml to match your target instance language and DB Charset. Zip it back and upload to iSetup repository. Now, you would be able to load to target instance. You must ensure that this would not corrupt data in DB. This is considered as customization and any data issue coming out this modification is not supported.
Custom Applications
Application data is the prerequisite for the most of the Application Object Library setups such as Menus, Responsibility, and Concurrent programs. iSetup does not migrate Custom Applications as of now. So, if you have created any custom application on source instance, please manually create them on the target instance before moving Application Object Library (AOL) data.
General Foundation Selection Set
Setup objects in General foundation selection set supports filtering i.e. ability to extract specific setups. Since most of the AOL setup data such as Menus, Responsibilities and Request Groups are shipped by Oracle itself, it does not make sense to migrate all of them to target instance since they would be available on target instance. Hence, it is strongly recommended to extract only those setup objects, which are edited/added, by you to target instance. This improves the performance. iSetup uses FNDLOAD (seed data loader) to migrate most of the AOL Setups. The default behavior of FNDLOAD is given below.
Case 1 – Shipped by Oracle (Seed Data)
FNDLOAD checks last_update_date and last_updated_by columns to update a record. If it is shipped by Oracle, the default owner of the record would be Oracle and it would skip these records, which are identical. So, it won’t change last_update_by or last_updated_date columns.
Case 2 – Shipped by Oracle and customized by you
If a record were customized in source instance, then it would update the record based on last_update_date column. If the last_update_date in the target were more recent, then FNDLOAD would not update the record. So, it won’t change last_update_by column. Otherwise, it would update the records with user who customized the records in source instance.
Case 3 – Created and maintained by customers
If a record were newly added/edited in source instance by you, then it would update the record based on last_update_date column. If the last_update_date of the record in the target were more recent, then FNDLOAD would not update the record. So, it won’t change last_update_by column. Otherwise, it would update the records with user who customized the records in source instance.
Profiles
HR: Business Group => Set the name of the Business Group for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Business Group onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set appropriately.
HR: Security Profile => Set the name of the Business Group for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Business Group onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set appropriately.
MO: Operating Unit => Set the Operating Unit name for which you would like to extract data from source instance. After loading Operating Unit onto the target instance, make sure that this profile option is set if required.
Navigation path to do the above setup:
System Administrator -> Profile -> System.
Query for the above profiles and set the values accordingly.
Descriptive & Key Flex Fields
You must compile and freeze the flex field values before extracting using iSetup.
Otherwise, it would result in partial migration of data. Please verify that all the data been extracted by reporting on your extract before loading to ensure data consistency.
You can load the KFF/DFF data to target instance even the structures in both source as well as target instances are different only in the below cases.
Case 1:
Source => Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, and Loc4
Target=> Loc1, Loc2, Loc3 (Mandate), Loc4, Loc5 and Loc6
If you provide values for Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, Loc4, then locations will be loaded to target instance without any issue. If you do not provide value for Loc3, then API will fail, as Loc3 is a mandatory field.
Case 2:
Source => Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3, and Loc4
Target=> Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2
If you provide values for Loc1 (Mandate), Loc2 (Mandate), Loc3 and Loc4 and load data to target instance, API will fail as Loc3 and Loc4 are not there in target instance.
It is always recommended that KFF/DFF structure should be same for both source as well as target instances.
Concurrent Programs and Request Groups
Concurrent program API migrates the program definition(Definition + Parameters + Executable) only. It does not migrate physical executable files under APPL_TOP. Please use custom solution to migrate executable files. Load Concurrent Programs prior to loading Request Groups. Otherwise, associated concurrent program meta-data will not be moved even through the Request Group extract contains associated Concurrent Program definition.
Locations - Geographies
If you have any custom Geographies, iSetup does not have any API to migrate this setup. Enter them manually before loading Locations API.
Currencies Types
iSetup does not have API to migrate Currency types. Enter them manually on target instance after loading Currency API.
GL Fiscal Super user--> setup--> Currencies --> rates -- > types
Associating an Employee details to an User
The extract process does not capture employee details associated with users. So, after loading the employee data successfully on the target instance, you have to configure them again on target instance.
Accounting Setup
Make sure that all Accounting Setups that you wish to migrate are in status “Complete”. In progress or not-completed Accounting Setups would not be migrated successfully.
Note: Currently iSetup does not migrate Sub-Ledger Accounting methods (SLA). Oracle supports some default SLA methods such as Standard Accrual and Standard Cash. You may make use of these two. If you want to use your own SLA method then you need to manually create it on target instances because iSetup does not have API to migrate SLA. If a Primary Ledger associated with Secondary Ledgers using different Chart of Accounts, then mapping rules should be defined in the target instance manually. Mapping rule name should match with XML tag “SlCoaMappingName”. After that you would be able to load Accounting Setup to target instance.
Organization API - Product Foundation Selection Set
All Organizations which are defined in HR module will be extracted by this API. This API will not extract Inventory Organization, Business Group. To migrate Inventory Organization, you have to use Inventory Organization API under Discrete Mfg. and Distribution Selection Set. To extract Business Group, you should use Business Group API.
Inventory Organization API - Discrete Mfg & Distribution Selection Set
Inventory Organization API will extract Inventory Organization information only. You should use Inventory Parameters API to move parameters such as Accounting Information. Inventory Organization API Supports Update which means that you can update existing header level attributes of Inventory Organization on the target instance. Inventory Parameters API does not support update. To update Inventory Parameters, use Inventory Parameters Update API.
We have a known issue where Inventory Organization API migrates non process enabled organization only. If your inventory organization is process enabled, then you can migrate them by a simple workaround. Download the extract zip file to desktop and unzip it. Navigate to Organization XML and edit the XML tag <ProcessEnabledFlag>Y</ProcessEnabledFlag> to <ProcessEnabledFlag>N</ProcessEnabledFlag>. Zip it back the extract and upload to target instance. You can load the extract now. After successful completion of load, you can manually enable the flag through Form UI. We are working on this issue and update you once patch is released to metalink.
Freight Carriers API - Product Foundation Selection Set
Freight Carriers API in Product Foundation selection set requires Inventory Organization and Organization Parameters as prerequisite setup. These two APIs are available under Discrete Mfg. and Distribution Selection Set. Also,Freight Carriers API is available under Discrete Mfg and Distribution Selection Set with name Carriers, Methods, Carrier-ModeServ,Carrier-Org. So, use Discrete Mfg selection set to load Freight Carriers. In next rollup release Freight Carriers API would be removed from Product Foundation Selection Set.
Organization Structure Selection Set
It is highly recommended to set filter and extract and load data related to one Business Group at a time. For example, setup objects such as Locations, Legal Entities,Operating Units,Organizations and Organization Structure Versions support filter by Business Group. So, set the filter for a specific Business Group and then extract and load the data to target instance.

Appendix_
How to read logs
·     Logs are very important to diagnose and troubleshoot iSetup issues. Logs contain both functional and technical errors.
·     To find the log, navigate to View Detail screens of Extracts/ Transforms/Loads/Standard/Comparison Reports and click on View Log button to view the log.
·     Generic Loader (FNDLOAD or Seed data loader) logs are not printed as a part of main log. To view actual log, you have to take the request_id specified in the concurrent log and search for the same in Forms Request Search Window in the instance where the request was launched.
·     Functional errors are mainly due to
o     Missing prerequisite data – You did not load one more perquisite API before loading the current API. Example, trying to load “Accounting Setup” without loading “Chart of Accounts” would result in this kind of error.
o     Business validation failure – Setup is incorrect as per business rule. Example, Start data cannot be greater than end date.
o     API does not support Update Records – If the there is a matching record in the target instance and If the API does not support update, then you would get this kind of errors.
o     You unselected Update Records while launching load - If the there is a matching record in the target instance and If you do not select Update Records, then you would get this kind of errors.
Example – business validation failure
o     VONAME = Branches PLSQL; KEY = BANKNAME = 'AIBC‘
o     BRANCHNAME = 'AIBC'
o     EXCEPTION = Please provide a unique combination of bank number, bank branch number, and country combination. The 020, 26042, KA combination already exists.
Example – business validation failure
o     Tokens: VONAME = Banks PLSQL
o     BANKNAME = 'OLD_ROYAL BANK OF MY INDIA'
o     EXCEPTION = End date cannot be earlier than the start date
Example – missing prerequisite data.
o     VONAME = Operating Unit; KEY = Name = 'CAN OU'
o     Group Name = 'Setup Business Group'
o     ; EXCEPTION = Message not found. Application: PER, Message Name: HR_ORG_SOB_NOT_FOUND (Set of books not found for ‘Setup Business Group’)
Example – technical or fwk error
o     OAException: System Error: Procedure at Step 40
o     Cause: The procedure has created an error at Step 40.
o     Action: Contact your system administrator quoting the procedure and Step 40.
Example – technical or fwk error
o     Number of installed languages on source and target does not match.

Clarification on Patches applied after installing NCOMP

Clarification on Patches applied after installing NCOMP and reapplying patchset
Note : 293658.1 10.1 or 10.2 Patchset Install Getting ORA-29558 JAccelerator (NCOMP) And ORA-06512
Extract:
"Note: If you have one-off patches on top of a 10.1.0.x or 10.2.0.x patchset
they do NOT need to be rollback and reapplied, they can remain."
Note 452024.1 Is NCOMP (JAccelerator) mandatory ?
Extract:
-You need to re-apply one-off patches that were applied prior to installing NCOMP component.
Which statement is true ?
For instance, CPU / normal one-off patch is applied in OracleHome without NCOMP
Now, NCOMP is installed
1- Do we have to re-apply the patch.
2- Do we have to rerun the post installation steps at the database level ? If any fix for NCOMP was there in the CPU, will it be there at the database level if we are not running the post installation steps ?
3- If ORACLE_HOME is 10.2.0.3.0, after installing NCOMP, 10.2.0.3.0, patchset has to be re-applied, what is the impact of this action on patches already applied

Hi ,
Please update on this . As I also required this information . And also the steps how to install it . As I haven't foung it ..

Trying to find-out if any PSU/patches present in the Oracle_Home

Hi Experts,
I have a Oracle_Home copied from a different server and using which , we have created a DB and it is being used for Agile applications.
But , initially , after the DB creation , we have not configure the inventory for the Oracle_Home.
And today , when we recreated the inventory, It completed successfully. And below is the output of it.
But , we are just confused why the interim patch/PSU details are not displayed.
-> Is that because , there are no interim patches/PSU installed in the Source Oracle_HOme ??
-> Or , is that when oracle_Home clone is done , it doesn't display those details ??
Note : The source environment from where we copied the oracle_Home is copied is not existing now. So, we don't have a chance to compare.

>Note : The source environment from where we copied the oracle_Home is copied is not existing now. So, we don't have a chance to compare.
I do not understand what it means.

Sorry, it was my mistake.
Actually while upgradation to 10.2.3.2, my ORACLE_HOME was not set to AV Agent HOME (instead it was set for AV Server HOME). That is why at the end script was unable to run from respective HOME.
Conclusion: Make sure to set ORACLE_HOME to AV Agent HOME before applying to 10.2.3.2 patchset to AV Agent. (also Valid for all Oracle Patchset Installation)
thanks for your support and reply.

Announcement : New SPS Patch Release (v 6.0.3) Now Available

A newer release of Service Provisioning System (version 6.0.3) is now available for download on sunsolve
The Release Notes for this release are available here and is a good place to start.
{color:#0000ff}*You are strongly encouraged to go through the Release Notes AND the README instructions of all the patches thoroughly before starting your patch installations.*{color}
The following are the key changes that were incorporated in this release.
1) A fix in the SPS transport layer code was implemented to provide performance optimization of deployment jobs over a raw, SSH or SSL connection. Specifically, customers using an SSL connection between MS and the RA/LD nodes can observe noticeable performance improvements while deploying large payloads.
2) A fix was also added to correct the default database encoding for customers who want to use extended ASCII character sets. This would not only facilitate clean database migration between 5.2 to 6.0 of any UTF-8 characters, but also ensure data integrity on fresh 6.0 installation. It's strongly recommended that customers take necessary steps to apply this fix on their SPS 6.0 installations.
3) Certain GUI related bugs were fixed and some missing functionality was added back.
4) It is to be noted that this is a cumulative patch on top of the earlier patch release version 6.0.2. Hence all the bug fixes that were delivered with the 6.0.2 patch are also accumulated into the 6.0.3 patch
5) Response time of GUI login validation has been improved.

another option would be to make either the n1sps export not writing explicit end tags
<element />
instead of
<element></element>
or
making the import / schema a bit less sensitive about whitespace within elements. The current bug, that you cannot export the xml, reformat in netBeans and then re-import is extremely annoying.

Latest Security Patch for Oracle DB 10.2.0.4 on 11.5.10.2 environment

We have SUNOS 5.10 with database 10.2.0.4 on 11.5.10.2 environment. The requirement is to patch latest security patch.
last patch was done 17-FEB-2009 ( retrived from registry$history). So, i would like to apply the latest security patch.
Please somebody let me know which one is the latest patch to be applied for this environment.
Thanks
Dheeru

Hi Hussein,
The customer can install CPU Patch or PSU Patch on top of 10.2.0.4. I agree with you but I think you are misunderstanding for what I am trying to say. Why not go for the latest Patch Set 4 (10.2.0.5) and then apply CPU Patch 9952270 or PSU Patch 9952230 on top of it (recommended). Every quarter, Oracle provides Critical Patch Updates (CPU) to address security vulnerabilities, and Patch Set Updates (PSU) to address proactive, critical fixes and security vulnerabilities. When deciding for CPU or PSU, please consider the following guidelines:
Critical Patch Updates and Patch Set Updates
The Patch Set Updates and Critical Patch Updates that are released each quarter contain the same security fixes. However, they use different patching mechanisms, and Patch Set Updates include both security and recommended bug fixes. Consider the following guidelines when you are deciding to apply Patch Set Updates instead of Critical Patch Updates.
1) Critical Patch Updates are applied only on the base release version, for example 10.2.0.4.0.
2) Patch Set Updates can be applied on the base release version or on any earlier Patch Set Update. For example, 11.1.0.7.2 can be applied on 11.1.0.7.1 and 11.1.0.7.0.
3) Once a Patch Set Update has been applied, the recommended way to get future security content is to apply subsequent Patch Set Updates. Reverting from an applied
Patch Set Update back to the Critical Patch Update, while technically possible, requires significant time and effort, and is not advised.
Regards,
Shahid

Forms and Reports 6i Patch 19

Hi,
I was going through the readme for 6i patch 19 , I found this instructions
Installation Instructions:
2.If you are going to apply this patch on top of an iAS install:
Set ORACLE_HOME to <iAS_HOME>/6iserver
Prepend <iAS_HOME>/6iserver/bin to the beginning of PATH
Prepend <iAS_HOME>/6iserver/lib to the beginning of LD_LIBRARY_PATH
what does Prepend <iAS_HOME>/6iserver/bin to the beginning of PATH means ?
what does Prepend <iAS_HOME>/6iserver/lib to the beginning of LD_LIBRARY_PATH means ?
Regards

Hi,
The note 125767.1 says (Step 5) to not follow the ReadMe as it may contain errors but instead the doc. relnotef_p19.pdf. But this doc. also says to set ORACLE_HOME to iAS_HOME/6iserver if we are going to apply the patch on top of iAS. My Pb is that I can find developer bin in both 8.0.6 and iAS homes (6iserver) and with exact same version "6.0.8.21.2". The ORACLE_HOME is set by default to 8.0.6 and I guess that it should remain as you said but wants to have confirmation.
Thanks,

Appreciate your suggestions on this.

Post your question in [Technology - LCM: Oracle iSetup |http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=503] forum, you would probably get a better response.

Unable to open BPM Processes in Jdev post 11,1.1.5 patch BPM PS4 FP

Hi All ,
We applied the BPM FP PS4 patch on top of our Jdev 11.1.1.5 installation as per the instructions here -
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/documentation/readme-bpm-488324.txt
But after that we are not open to see the BPM Process in Jdeveloper at all , something which was working fine before we installed the patch.
Has anyone faced this issue before or knows what should be done please ?

Hi
1. After applying FP to JDeveloper, we did not face any issues. We could still open our old processes, business rules etc everything from BPM Project Navigator tab.
2. So I guess you applied both the below patches to the JDev. In JDev, select your workflow project -> Right click -> Project Properties. In this select Libraries and Classpath and make sure all the modules are in proper and none of them are like in Red Color. Red color means that module location is not found like that.
soa-jdev-extension.zip - Oracle JDeveloper Extension for SOA
bpm-jdev-extension.zip - Oracle JDeveloper Extension for BPM
3. One quick test, create a new test bpm app with one bpm project with all defaults. Then open this newly created bpm process. This wil make sure if your JDev and the new patch is applied correctly or not. Acutally after applying FP, when you open process in the central window on top you will see a new Row with new compoments like Activity, Mail etc on top left corner.
4. If newly created one works, then check your old project and its properties like that.
5. Finally, when you try to open it, and if it fails, it should show some error message in the bottom status window. Look what it says.
We have not faced any issues like this after upgrading to FP.
Thanks
